ANNIE LOUISE GHUBB, OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA.

HOSE-NOZZLE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 763,594, dated June 28, 1904.

Application filed November 4, 1903. Serial No. 179,822. g (No model.)

To add whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANNIE LOUISE CHUBB, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hose-Nozzle Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in means for holding and directing hose-nozzles in sprinkling lawns and the like. Its object is to provide a cheap, simple, compact, and durable device that can be easily moved from place to place and thrust into the ground, which will take a nozzle of any size, and which will hold the nozzle at any desired angle, according to the area to be watered.

It consists of the parts and the construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter more fully described, having reference to the accompanying drawing, in which the figure shows my device.

A represents a conical spiral spring of stiff steel wire having the upper end of the wire returned downward through the center of the cone and sufiiciently prolonged below the base of the cone to form a shank portion 2, which is adapted to be struck into the ground to support the device. The lower end of the wire is extended inwardly and radially of the cone and knotted to the shank portion 2, as at 3, to provide a brace and maintain the shape and position of the spring.

In watering the nozzle is engaged and clamped between the different planes of the coils at any point about the axis of the cone, according to the distance the .water is to be thrown and the direction in which the throw is to be directed.

The spring character of the holder adapts it to nozzles of all sizes.

If a'fountain effect is desired, the nozzle may be supported in vertical position by inserting it up through the spring and the loop A at the apex of the cone.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A nozzle-holder comprising a conical spring between the coils of which the nozzle is adapted to be held said spring having one end returned from the apex centrally through the cone to provide a shank which is adapted to be thrust into the ground and the opposite end of the spring knotted to said shank portion.

2. A nozzle holder comprising a conical wire spring between the coils of which the nozzle is adapted to be held said spring having a loop as 4 at the apex and the apex end of the Wire returned centrally through the coil and knotted t0 the other end of the wire, and means for supporting said holder.

3. A nozzle holder comprising a conical spring and a central vertical shank both ends of the spring being secured to the shank and said shank being extended in substantially a straight line below the lower end of the spring and capable of insertion into the ground to support the device.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing wit- ANNIE LOUISE CHUBB.
